Painting the Darkness Audiobook (Unabridged)

" Family secrets and plot twist abound in this highly entertaining, though deliberately paced historical set in Victorian England. "

" As I recall, yet another nefarious Constance character, and a completely mesmerizing book from a talented author... "

" I was very disappointed with this Goddard book - too long, too boring and in the end I gave up. After reading several of his others I expected something better than this but read some of his others and hope for more compelling plots. "

" This is not my favorite Goddard book but definitely his trademark twists and turns in the plot. I prefer his writing style in his books in contemporary settings. "

" 4 1/2 stars. Plotting and writing style are excellent. "

" William is sitting in the garden of his home. A stranger arrives, announcing himself as the former fiance of William's wife, who supposedly committed suicide years earlier. Dark, shocking family secrets finally revealed. I couldn't put it down. "

" Long book. The ending was good - I gasped. This guy's twisted. "

" This is a BIG book - over 500 pages long. I got half way, and lost interest. Not a criticism of Goddard's writing, just a problem with my short attention span. And the fact that there are alot of inter-related characters... "

" I thought this book was excellent until about 2/3 of the way through at which time I started to get bored and indifferent. I did finish it and admire the plotting but as I said it was too much for me... "

" This was am amazing twist and turn adventure. Robert Goddard does it again and again -- you think all the twists are over and then 'bam' there is another one that you did not expect. He does not disappoint. "

" In places this felt like a bit of a slog. Apparently I prefer Goddard's contemporary novels with historical flashbacks to a purely historical one... "

" A good story. At times it lost the way and seemed to stall. Ending quite complex. "

" Just could not get into this book. I think I like his modern set ones much better. "

" Wow!! All the turns and what not happens. This was a good read. Although I found myself putting the book down because I thought the author was doing something predictable, no way was it predictable. "

" A complicated story set in the 1800's about a man trying to prove that he is an heir who was supposed to have committed suicide. It keeps you guessing till the end. "
